1. | ORGANIZATION |
Redwood Managed Volatility Fund (the Managed Volatility Fund), Redwood Managed Municipal Income Fund (the Municipal Income Fund), Redwood AlphaFactor® Tactical International Fund (the Tactical International Fund), Redwood Systematic Macro Trend (SMarT) Fund (the SMarT Fund), each a Fund and collectively, the Funds are each a series of shares of beneficial interest of the Two Roads Shared Trust (the Trust), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on June 8, 2012, and registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), as diversified, open-end management investment companies. The Managed Volatility Fund commenced investment operations on December 19, 2013. The Municipal Income Fund commenced operations on March 9, 2017. The Tactical International Fund, and SMarT Fund commenced operations on November 2, 2017. The Managed Volatility Funds investment objective is to seek a combination of total return and prudent management of portfolio downside volatility and downside loss. The Municipal Income Funds investment objective is to seek to generate tax-efficient income, while focusing on managing downside risk. The Tactical International Funds investment objective is to seek to generate long-term total return with capital preservation as a secondary objective. The SMarT Funds investment objective is to seek to generate capital appreciation while focusing on managing downside risk. The Funds are fund of funds, in that the Funds will generally invest in other investment companies.
The Managed Volatility Fund offers Class I, Class N and Class Y shares. The Municipal Income Fund, Tactical International Fund, and SMarT Fund each offer Class I and Class N shares. The Municipal Income Fund Class N had zero shares outstanding at April 30, 2025. The Tactical International Fund Class N had zero shares outstanding at April 30, 2025. All classes are sold at net asset value (NAV). Each share class of a Fund represents an interest in the same assets of that Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their fees and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. Each Funds income, expenses (other than class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class of the Fund.
On December 10, 2024, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved Agreements and Plans of Reorganization (collectively, the Plan) pursuant to which each of the Redwood AlphaFactor Tactical International Fund, Redwood Managed Municipal Income Fund, Redwood Managed Volatility Fund, and Redwood Systematic Macro Trend (SMarT®) Fund, LeaderShares® Activist Leaders® ETF, LeaderShares® AlphaFactor® Tactical Focused ETF, LeaderShares® AlphaFactor® US Core Equity ETF, LeaderShares® Equity Skew ETF, and LeaderShares® Dynamic Yield ETF (each an Existing Fund) will reorganize into a corresponding newly created series (each an Acquiring Fund) of Investment Managers Series Trust II (each a Reorganization and collectively, the Reorganizations). Redwood Investment Management, LLC will continue to serve as the investment adviser to each of the Acquiring Funds following the Reorganizations. Each Acquiring Fund will have the same investment objective, and substantially similar principal investment strategies, policies and risks as its corresponding Existing Fund, and each Acquiring Fund will be managed by the same portfolio managers as the Existing Funds. The Reorganizations with respect to each of the Existing Funds is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2025, subject to the fulfillment of closing conditions, including the approval of the Plan with respect to each of the Existing Funds by its respective shareholders.
2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of increases and decreases in net assets from operations during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Funds are investment companies and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standard Codification Topic 946 Financial Services - Investment Companies.

Operating Segments - The Funds have adopted FASB Accounting Standards Update 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280) - Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. Adoption of the standard impacted financial statement disclosures only and did not affect the Funds financial position or the results of its operations. An operating segment is defined in Topic 280 as a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may recognize revenues and incur expenses, has operating results that are regularly reviewed by the public entitys chief operating decision maker (CODM) to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and has discrete financial information available. Each Funds CODM is comprised of the portfolio managers and Chief Financial Officer of such Fund. The Funds operate as a single operating segment. The Funds income, expenses, assets, changes in net assets resulting from operations and performance are regularly monitored and assessed as a whole by the CODM responsible for oversight functions of the Funds, using the information presented in the financial statements and financial highlights.
Security Valuation - Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last quoted sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price. In the absence of a sale such securities shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. Debt securities not traded on an exchange may be valued at prices supplied by a pricing agent(s) based on broker or dealer supplied valuations or matrix pricing, a method of valuing securities by reference to the value of other securities with similar characteristics, such as rating, interest rate and maturity. Options contracts listed on a securities exchange or board of trade (not including Index Options contracts) for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the valuation date. Index Options listed on a securities exchange or board of trade for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the valuation date. Total return swaps on exchange-listed securities shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation on each underlying exchange-listed security. Exchange listed swaps shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the mean between the current bid and ask prices on the day of valuation. The independent pricing service does not distinguish between smaller-sized bond positions known as odd lots and larger institutional-sized bond positions known as round lots. Each Fund may fair value a particular bond if the Redwood Investment Management, LLC (the Adviser) does not believe that the round lot value provided by the independent pricing service reflects fair value of the Funds holding. Short-term debt obligations, excluding U.S. Treasury Bills, having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.
Valuation of Underlying Funds - The Funds may invest in portfolios of open-end or closed-end investment companies (the Underlying Funds). The Underlying Funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value to the methods established by the board of directors of the Underlying Funds.
Open-end funds and certain non-exchange traded closed-end funds are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The shares of many exchange-traded funds (such as closed-end funds and ETFs), after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount of such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or premium on shares of any exchange-traded fund purchased by the Funds will not change.
The Funds may hold securities, such as private investments, other non-traded securities or temporarily illiquid securities, for which market quotations are not readily available or are determined to be unreliable. These securities are valued using the fair value procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust (the Board). The Board has appointed the Funds Adviser as its valuation designee (the Valuation Designee) for all fair value determinations and responsibilities, other than overseeing pricing service providers used by any series of the Trust, including the Funds. This designation is subject to Board oversight and certain reporting and other requirements designed to facilitate the Boards ability effectively to oversee the Valuation Designees fair value determinations. The Valuation Designee may also enlist third party consultants such a valuation specialist at a public accounting firm, valuation consultant or financial officer of a security issuer on an as-needed basis to assist the Valuation Designee in determining a security-specific fair value. The Board is responsible for reviewing and approving fair value methodologies utilized by the Valuation Designee, approval of which shall be based upon whether the Valuation Designee followed the valuation procedures approved by the Board.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |

Fair Valuation Process -The applicable investments are valued by the Valuation Designee pursuant to valuation procedures approved by the Board. For example, fair value determinations are required for the following securities: (i) securities for which market quotations are insufficient or not readily available on a particular business day (including securities for which there is a short and temporary lapse in the provision of a price by the regular pricing source); (ii) securities for which, in the judgment of the Valuation Designee, the prices or values available do not represent the fair value of the instrument; factors which may cause the Valuation Designee to make such a judgment include, but are not limited to, the following: only a bid price or an asked price is available; the spread between bid and asked prices is substantial; the frequency of sales; the thinness of the market; the size of reported trades; and actions of the securities markets, such as the suspension or limitation of trading; (iii) securities determined to be illiquid; and (iv) securities with respect to which an event that affects the value thereof has occurred (a significant event) since the closing prices were established on the principal exchange on which they are traded, but prior to each Funds calculation of its net asset value. Specifically, interests in commodity pools or managed futures pools are valued on a daily basis by reference to the closing market prices of each futures contract or other asset held by a pool, as adjusted for pool expenses. Restricted or illiquid securities such as private investments or non-traded securities are valued based upon the current bid for the security from two or more independent dealers or other parties reasonably familiar with the facts and circumstances of the security (who should take into consideration all relevant factors as may be appropriate under the circumstances). If a current bid from such independent dealers or other independent parties is unavailable, the Valuation Designee shall determine the fair value of such security using the following factors: (i) the type of security; (ii) the cost at date of purchase; (iii) the size and nature of the Funds holdings; (iv) the discount from market value of unrestricted securities of the same class at the time of purchase and subsequent thereto; (v) information as to any transactions or offers with respect to the security; (vi) the nature and duration of restrictions on disposition of the security and the existence of any registration rights; (vii) how the yield of the security compares to similar securities of companies of similar or equal creditworthiness; (viii) the level of recent trades of similar or comparable securities; (ix) the liquidity characteristics of the security; (x) current market conditions; and (xi) the market value of any securities into which the security is convertible or exchangeable.
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of all of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument on an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

Swap Agreements - The Funds are subject to equity price risk and/or interest rate risk and credit risk in the normal course of pursuing their respective investment objectives. The Funds may enter into various swap transactions for investment purposes or to manage interest rate, equity, foreign exchange (currency) or credit risk. These would be two-party contracts entered into primarily to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of returns) earned or realized on particular pre-determined investments or instruments. The average month end notional value of the total return swaps that the Managed Volatility Fund, Municipal Income Fund and Tactical International Fund invested in during the six months ended April 30, 2025, was $222,232, $287,680 and $61,518,496, respectively. SMarT Fund did not invest in total return swaps during the six months ended April 30, 2025.
Credit Default Swaps - Credit default swaps (CDS) are typically two-party (bilateral) financial contracts that transfer credit exposure between the two parties. One party to a CDS (referred to as the credit protection buyer) receives credit protection or sheds credit risk, whereas the other party to a CDS (referred to as the credit protection seller) is selling credit protection or taking on credit risk. The seller typically receives pre-determined periodic payments from the other party. These payments are in consideration for agreeing to make compensating specific payments to the buyer should a negative credit event occur, such as (1) bankruptcy or (2) failure to pay interest or principal on a reference debt instrument, with respect to a specified issuer or one of the reference issuers in a CDS portfolio. In general, CDS may be used by the Funds to obtain credit risk exposure similar to that of a direct investment in high yield bonds. Credit default swaps involve risks because they are difficult to value, are highly susceptible to liquidity and credit risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium only in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial difficulty). The Fund bears the loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap counterparty. The maximum risk of loss for sell protection on a credit default swap is the notional value of the total underlying amount of the swap. The average month end notional value of the credit default swaps that the Managed Volatility Fund invested in during the six months ended April 30, 2025, was $7,333,333. Municipal Income Fund, Tactical International Fund and SMarT Fund did not invest in credit default swaps during the six months ended April 30, 2025.
The amounts to be exchanged or swapped between parties are calculated with respect to the notional amount. Changes in the value of swap agreements are recognized as unrealized gains or losses in the Statements of Operations by marking to market on a daily basis to reflect the value of the swap agreement at the end of each trading day. Payments received or paid at the beginning of the agreement are reflected as such on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and may be referred to as upfront payments. A liquidation payment received or made at the termination of the swap agreement is recorded as a realized gain or loss on the Statements of Operations. The maximum pay-outs for these contracts are limited to the notional amount of each swap. CDS may involve greater risks than if the Funds had invested in the referenced obligation directly and are subject to general market risk, liquidity risk, counterparty risk and credit risk.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
April 30, 2025 |
Options Transactions - The Funds are subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against this risk.
When a Fund writes a call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retain the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option.
The Funds may purchase put and call options. Call options are purchased to hedge against an increase in the value of securities held in a Funds portfolio. If such an increase occurs, the call options will permit a Fund to purchase the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, not at the current market price. Put options are purchased to hedge against a decline in the value of securities held in a Funds portfolio. If such a decline occurs, the put options will permit a Fund to sell the securities underlying such options at the exercise price, or to close out the options at a profit. The premium paid for a put or call option plus any transaction costs will reduce the benefit, if any, realized by a Fund upon exercise of the option, and, unless the price of the underlying security rises or declines sufficiently, the option may expire worthless to the Fund. In addition, in the event that the price of the security in connection with which an option was purchased moves in a direction favorable to the Fund, the benefits realized by the Fund as a result of such favorable movement will be reduced by the amount of the premium paid for the option and related transaction costs. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to a Fund since these options are exchange traded and the exchanges clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.
Foreign Currency - Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts at the date of valuation. Purchases and sales of investment securities and income and expense items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar amounts on the respective dates of such transactions. Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest, and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds books and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair values of assets and liabilities, other than investments in securities at fiscal period end, resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The Fund does not isolate that portion of the results of operations resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments from the fluctuations arising from changes in market prices of securities held. Such fluctuations are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss from investments.
Security Transactions and Related Income - Security transactions are accounted for on trade date basis. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds. Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Funds understanding of the applicable countrys tax rules and rates.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders - Dividends from net investment income are declared and distributed quarterly for the Managed Volatility Fund, monthly for the Municipal Income Fund and annually for the Tactical International Fund and SMarT Fund. Distributable net realized capital gains are declared and distributed annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are recorded on ex dividend date and determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These book/tax differences are considered either temporary (i.e., deferred losses, capital loss carry forwards) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification.

Federal Income Taxes - It is each Funds policy to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) that are applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of their taxable income and net realized gains to shareholders. Therefore, no federal income tax provision has been recorded.
The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is more likely than not to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for the open tax years ended October 31, 2022, to October 31, 2024, for the Managed Volatility Fund, Municipal Income Fund, Tactical International Fund and SMarT Fund or positions expected to be taken in the Funds October 31, 2025, year-end tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. Federal, Ohio and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments; however, the Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably expected that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months. The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense in the Statements of Operations. During the period, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.
Expenses - Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable, taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.
Indemnification - The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Funds enter into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Funds maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Funds expect the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.

5. | PRINCIPAL INVESTMENT RISKS |

Tactical International Fund: active trading risk, American depositary receipts risk, calculation methodology risk, cash positions risk, cybersecurity risk, derivatives risk, emerging markets risk, equity risk, fixed income securities risk, foreign custody risk, foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk, gap risk, geographic and sector risk, index risk, index tracking error risk, investment companies risk, leveraging risk, liquidity risk, management risk, market capitalization risk, market events risk, market risk, money market instrument risk, passive investment risk, portfolio turnover risk, quantitative investing risk, real estate investment trusts risk, rules based strategy risk, underlying funds risk, U.S. government securities risk, valuation risk and volatility risk.
SMarT Fund: bank loan risk, borrowing risk, cash positions risk, counterparty risk, credit risk, currency risk, cybersecurity risk, derivatives risk, emerging markets risk, equity risk, fixed income securities risk, foreign (non-U.S.) investment risk, gap risk, geographic and sector risk, high yield fixed income securities risk, investment companies risk, leveraging risk, liquidity risk, management risk, market capitalization risk, market events risk, market risk, money market instrument risk, portfolio turnover risk, preferred securities risk, quantitative investing risk, real estate investment trust risk, swap risk, underlying funds risk, U.S. government securities risk, valuation risk, and volatility risk.
Cash Positions Risk - The Funds may hold a significant position in cash and/or cash equivalent securities. When a Funds investment in cash or cash equivalent securities increases, a Fund may not participate in market advances or declines to the same extent that it would if a Fund was more fully invested.
Derivatives Risk - The Funds may invest in derivative instruments. The derivative instruments held by a Fund may be more volatile than other instruments and may be subject to unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited. The risks associated with investments in derivatives also include leverage, liquidity, interest rate, market, credit and management risks, mispricing or improper valuations. Derivative instruments may be more volatile than other instruments and may be subject to unanticipated market movements, which are potentially unlimited. Certain derivatives require a Fund to pledge cash or liquid securities as margin or collateral, a form of security deposit intended to protect against nonperformance of the derivative contract. A Fund may have to post additional margin if the value of the derivative position changes in a manner adverse to a Fund. Changes in the market value of a derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index, and a Fund could lose more than the principal amount invested. Changes in regulations relating to a funds use of derivatives and related instruments may make derivatives more costly, limit the availability of derivatives, or otherwise adversely affect the value or performance of derivatives and the Fund. In addition, if a derivative is being used for hedging purposes there can be no assurance given that each derivative position will achieve a perfect correlation with the security or currency against which it is being hedged, or that a particular derivative position will be available when sought by the portfolio manager.
Equity Risk - Tactical International Fund, and SMarT Fund are subject to equity risk. Equity securities are susceptible to general market fluctuations, volatile increases and decreases in value as market confidence in and perceptions of their issuers change and unexpected trading activity among retail investors. Factors that may influence the price of equity securities include developments affecting a specific company or industry, or changing economic, political or market conditions.
Fixed Income Securities Risk - When a Fund invests in fixed income securities (or derivatives), the value of your investment in a Fund will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities or derivatives owned by a Fund. In general, the market price of fixed income securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default) and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment by a Fund, possibly causing a Funds share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments. The fixed-income securities market can be susceptible to increases in volatility and decreases in liquidity. New regulations applicable to, and changing business practices of, financial intermediaries that make markets in fixed income securities have resulted in less market making activity for certain fixed income securities, which may reduce the liquidity and may increase the volatility for such fixed income securities. Liquidity may decline unpredictably in response to overall economic conditions or credit tightening. For example, a general rise in interest rates may cause investors to move out of fixed income securities on a large scale, which could adversely affect the price and liquidity of fixed income securities and could also result in increased redemptions for a Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
April 30, 2025 |
High Yield Fixed Income Securities Risk - Investment in or exposure to high yield (lower rated) debt instruments (also known as junk bonds) may involve greater levels of interest rate, credit, liquidity and valuation risk than for higher rated instruments. High yield debt instruments are considered predominantly speculative and are higher risk than investment grade debt instruments with respect to the issuers continuing ability to make principal and interest payments and, therefore, such instruments generally involve greater risk of default or price changes than higher rated debt instruments. An economic downturn or period of rising interest rates could adversely affect the liquidity and value of these securities. If the issuer of a security is in default with respect to interest or principal payments, the underlying investment company or ETF could lose its entire investment. Furthermore, the transaction costs associated with the purchase and sale of high yield debt instruments may vary greatly depending on a number of factors and may adversely affect a Funds performance.
Index Tracking Error Risk - The Tactical International Fund is subject to index tracking error risk. As with all index funds, the performance of a Fund and its Index may differ from each other for a variety of reasons. For example, a Fund incurs operating expenses and portfolio transaction costs not incurred by the Index. In addition, a Fund may not be fully invested in securities of the Index at all times, may deviate from the relative weightings of the Index, or may hold securities not included in the Index. Tracking error risk may be heightened during times of market volatility or other unusual market conditions.
Investment Companies Risk - When a Fund invests in other investment companies, including open-end mutual funds, closed-end funds or ETFs, it will bear additional expenses based on its pro rata share of the other investment companys operating expenses, including the management fees of unaffiliated funds in addition to those paid by the Funds. The risk of owning an investment company generally reflects the risk of owning the underlying investments held by the investment company. The Fund will be indirectly exposed to the risks of the portfolio assets held by an ETF or other investment company, which may include, but is not limited to, those of debt securities, real estate industry or other sectors, mortgage loans and participations and illiquid securities. A Fund may also incur brokerage costs when it purchases and sells shares of investment companies.
Liquidity Risk - Liquidity risk exists when particular investments of a Fund would be difficult to purchase or sell, possibly preventing a Fund from selling such illiquid securities at an advantageous time or price, or possibly requiring a Fund to dispose of other investments at unfavorable times or prices in order to satisfy its obligations. In the past, in stressed markets, certain types of securities suffered periods of illiquidity if disfavored by the market. These risks may increase during periods of market turmoil and could have a negative effect on a Funds performance. Illiquidity may result from the absence of an established market for investments as well as legal, contractual or other restrictions on their resale and other factors. For example, with respect to a Funds investment in interval funds, there may not be a secondary market for the shares and limited liquidity is provided only through such funds regular repurchase offers. There is no guarantee that a Fund will be able to sell all of the shares it desires in a regular repurchase offer.
Market Capitalization Risk - The Funds anticipated weighting towards larger-sized companies subjects the Fund to the risk that larger companies may not be able to attain the high growth rates of successful smaller companies, especially during strong economic periods, and that they may be less capable of responding quickly to competitive challenges and industry changes. Because the Fund may invest in companies of any size, its share price could be more volatile than a Fund that invests only in large companies. Small and medium-sized companies typically have less experienced management, narrower product lines, more limited financial resources, and less publicly available information than larger companies.
Market Risk - Overall market risk may affect the value of individual instruments in which a Fund invests. A Fund is subject to the risk that the securities markets will move down, sometimes rapidly and unpredictably, based on overall economic conditions and other factors, which may negatively affect a Funds performance. Factors such as domestic and foreign (non-U.S.) economic growth and market conditions, real or perceived adverse economic or political conditions, military conflict, acts of terrorism, social unrest, natural disasters, recessions, inflation, changes in interest rate levels, supply chain disruptions, sanctions, the spread of infectious illness or other public health threats, lack of liquidity in the bond or other markets, volatility in the securities markets, adverse investor sentiment and political events affect the securities markets. U.S. and foreign stock markets have experienced periods of substantial price volatility in the past and may do so again in the future. Securities markets also may experience long periods of decline in value. A change in financial condition or other event affecting a single issuer or market may adversely impact securities markets as a whole. The value of assets or income from an investment may be worth less in the future as inflation decreases the value of money.

Redwood Funds |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
April 30, 2025 |
As inflation increases, the real value of a Funds assets can decline as can the value of a Funds distributions. When the value of a Funds investments goes down, your investment in the Fund decreases in value and you could lose money.
Local, state, regional, national or global events such as war, acts of terrorism, the spread of infectious illness or other public health issues, recessions, or other events could have a significant impact on a Fund and its investments and could result in decreases to a Funds net asset value. Political, geopolitical, natural and other events, including war, terrorism, trade disputes, government shutdowns, market closures, natural and environmental disasters, epidemics, pandemics and other public health crises and related events and governments reactions to such events have led, and in the future may lead, to economic uncertainty, decreased economic activity, increased market volatility and other disruptive effects on U.S. and global economies and markets. Such events may have significant adverse direct or indirect effects on a Fund and its investments. For example, a widespread health crisis such as a global pandemic could cause substantial market volatility, exchange trading suspensions and closures, impact the ability to complete redemptions, and affect Fund performance. A health crisis may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks. In addition, the increasing interconnectedness of markets around the world may result in many markets being affected by events or conditions in a single country or region or events affecting a single or small number of issuers.
Money Market Instrument Risk - The value of money market instruments may be affected by changing interest rates and by changes in the credit ratings of the investments. An investment in a money market fund is not insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. It is possible to lose money by investing in a money market fund. Recently, the SEC proposed amendments to money market fund rules that are intended to address potential systemic risks associated with money market funds and to improve transparency for money market fund investors. The money market fund reforms may impact the structure, operations and return potential of the money market funds in which a Fund invests.
Municipal Bond Risk - The underlying funds in which the Municipal Income Fund may invest may be affected significantly by the economic, regulatory or political developments affecting the ability of issuers of debt securities whose interest is, in the opinion of bond counsel for the issuer at the time of issuance, exempt from federal income tax to pay interest or repay principal. For example, COVID-19 significantly stressed the financial resources of many municipal issuers ability to meet their financial obligations when due and adversely impacting the value of their bonds.
Quantitative Investing Risk - The value of securities or other investments selected using quantitative analysis can perform differently from the market as a whole or from their expected performance. This may be as a result of the factors used in building the multifactor quantitative model, the weights placed on each factor, the accuracy of historical data supplied by third parties, and changing sources of market returns.
Swap Risk - The Managed Volatility Fund, Municipal Income Fund, SMarT Fund, and Tactical International Fund are each subject to swap risk. Swap agreements are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the swap will default on its obligation to pay a Fund and the risk that a Fund will not be able to meet its obligations to pay the counterparty to the swap. In addition, there is the risk that a swap may be terminated by a Fund or the counterparty in accordance with its terms. If a swap were to terminate, a Fund may be unable to implement its investment strategies and a Fund may not be able to seek to achieve its investment objective. See Note 3 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of swaps and credit default swaps.
Credit Default Swaps Risk - Managed Volatility Fund is subject to credit default swaps risk. A credit default swap enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a credit event with respect to an issuer. Credit default swaps involve risks because they are difficult to value, are highly susceptible to liquidity and credit risk, and generally pay a return to the party that has paid the premium only in the event of an actual default by the issuer of the underlying obligation (as opposed to a credit downgrade or other indication of financial difficulty). A Fund bears the loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. The maximum risk of loss for sell protection on a credit default swap is the notional value of the total underlying amount of the swap.

Redwood Funds |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued) |
April 30, 2025 |
Real Estate Investment Trust Risk - There is risk that investments in real estate investment trusts (REITs) will make a Fund more susceptible to risks associated with the ownership of real estate and with the real estate industry in general, such as changes in interest rates, real estate values and property taxes, cash flows of underlying real estate assets, and the management skill and creditworthiness of the issuer. REITs may be less diversified than other pools of securities, may have lower trading volumes and may be subject to more abrupt or erratic price movements than the overall securities markets. REITs are also subject to heavy cash flow dependency, defaults by borrowers, self-liquidation, interest rate risks (especially mortgage REITS), liquidity risk, and the possibility of failing to qualify for special tax treatment under the Code.
Taxability Risk - Municipal Income Fund is subject to taxability risk. There is no guarantee that all of the Municipal Income Funds income will remain exempt from federal or state or local income taxes. Income from municipal bonds held by the Fund or an underlying fund in which it invests could be declared taxable because of unfavorable changes in tax laws, adverse interpretations by the Internal Revenue Service or state tax authorities, or non-compliant conduct of a bond issuer. A Fund or an underlying fund in which it invests may sell securities that lose their tax-exempt statuses at inopportune times, which may cause tax consequences or a decrease in a Funds value. In order to pay tax-exempt interest, tax-exempt securities must meet certain legal requirements. Failure to meet such requirements may cause the interest received and distributed by a Fund to shareholders to be taxable. If a Fund fails to meet the requirements necessary to pay out exempt-interest dividends to its shareholders, the income distributions resulting from all of its investments, including its municipal securities, may be subject to federal income tax when received by shareholders.
Total Return Swaps Risk - A total return swap is a contract in which one party agrees to make periodic payments to another party based on the change in market value of the assets underlying the contract, which may include a specified security, basket of securities, or securities indices during the specified period, in return for periodic payments based on a fixed or variable interest rate or the total return from other underlying assets. Total return swap agreements may be used to obtain exposure to a security or market without owning or taking physical custody of such security or investing directly in such market. Total return swap agreements may effectively add leverage to the Funds portfolio because, in addition to its total net assets, the Fund would be subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap. The primary risks associated with total returns swaps are credit risks (if the counterparty fails to meet its obligations) and market risk (if there is no liquid market for the agreement or unfavorable changes occur to the underlying asset).
U.S. Government Securities Risk - Treasury obligations may differ in their interest rates, maturities, times of issuance and other characteristics. Obligations of U.S. Government agencies and authorities are supported by varying degrees of credit but generally are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. No assurance can be given that the U.S. Government will provide financial support to its agencies and authorities if it is not obligated by law to do so. In addition, the value of U.S. Government securities may be affected by changes in the credit rating of the U.S. Government.
Volatility Risk - The Funds may have investments that appreciate or decrease significantly in value over short periods of time. The value of an investment in a Funds portfolio may fluctuate due to events or factors that affect industries, sectors or markets generally or that affect a particular investment, industry or sector. The value of an investment in a Funds portfolio may also be more volatile than the market as a whole. This may cause a Funds net asset value per share to experience significant increases or declines in value over short periods of time. Events or financial circumstances affecting individual investments, industries or sectors may increase the volatility of a Fund.

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Agreement
Redwood Funds
At a meeting held on December 10, 2024 (the Meeting), the Board of Trustees (the Board) of Two Roads Shared Trust (the Trust), each of whom is not an interested person of the Trust (the Independent Trustees or the Trustees), as such term is defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the 1940 Act), considered the renewal of the investment advisory agreements (each an Advisory Agreement and collectively the Advisory Agreements) between Redwood Investment Management LLC (Redwood or the Adviser) and the Trust, on behalf of the Redwood Managed Volatility Fund, Redwood Managed Municipal Income Fund, Redwood AlphaFactor Tactical International Fund, and Redwood Systematic Macro Trend (SMarT) Fund (each a Redwood Fund or a Fund, and together the Redwood Funds).
In connection with the Boards consideration of the Advisory Agreements, the Board received written materials in advance of the Meeting, which included information regarding: (i) the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to each Redwood Fund by Redwood; (ii) a description of the Advisers investment management personnel; (iii) an overview of the Advisers operations and financial condition; (iv) a description of the Advisers brokerage practices (including any soft dollar arrangements); (v) a comparison of each Redwood Funds advisory fees and overall expenses with those of comparable mutual funds; (vi) the level of profitability from the Advisers fund-related operations; (vii) the Advisers compliance policies and procedures, including policies and procedures for personal securities transactions, business continuity and information security; and (viii) information regarding the performance record of each Redwood Fund as compared to other mutual funds with similar investment strategies.
Throughout the process, including at the Meeting, the Board had numerous opportunities to ask questions of and request additional materials and information from Redwood. The Board was advised by, and met in executive sessions with, the Boards independent legal counsel, and received a memorandum from such independent counsel regarding its responsibilities under applicable law. The Board also noted that the evaluation process with respect to the Adviser is an ongoing one and that in this regard, the Board took into account discussions with management and information provided to the Board at and between prior meetings with respect to the services provided by the Adviser, including quarterly performance reports prepared by management containing reviews of investment results and prior presentations and representations from the Adviser. The Board noted that the information received and considered by the Board in connection with the Meeting and throughout the year was both written and oral. In considering the factors below, the Board also took into account the proposed reorganization plans with respect to the Redwood Funds, which were also being considered for approval at the Meeting. The Board considered renewal of the Advisory Agreement with respect to each Fund separately.
Matters considered by the Board in connection with its approval of the Advisory Agreements with respect to each of the Redwood Funds included, among others, the following:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Board reviewed materials provided by Redwood related to the Advisory Agreements with respect to each of the Redwood Funds, including the Advisory Agreements, a description of the manner in which investment decisions are made and executed; an overview of the personnel that perform advisory, compliance and operational services for the Redwood Funds and their background and experience; a

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued) |

summary of the financial condition of Redwood; a quarterly written report containing Redwoods performance commentary; Redwoods compliance policies and procedures, including its business continuity plan and cybersecurity policies, and a code of ethics containing provisions reasonably necessary to prevent Access Persons, as that term is defined in Rule 17j-1 under the 1940 Act, from engaging in conduct prohibited by Rule 17j-1(b); information regarding risk management processes and liquidity risk management and its derivative risk management processes and procedures; an annual review of the operation of Redwoods compliance program; information regarding Redwoods compliance and regulatory history; a report of Redwoods independent third-party compliance consultant; and an independent report prepared by Broadridge, an independent third party data provider, analyzing the performance record, fees and expenses of each of the Redwood Funds to those of a respective peer group of other mutual funds or ETFs, as applicable, with similar investment strategies as selected by Broadridge (the Peer Group).
In considering the nature, extent and quality of services to be provided by Redwood under the Advisory Agreements, the Board considered Redwoods asset management, risk management, operations, and compliance experience. The Board considered that Redwood had summarized each of the investment strategies used for the Redwood Funds and that in advising the Redwood Funds, Redwood employed quantitative and tactical investment elements, as applicable, which require a significant level of sophistication and labor to execute. The Board noted that in addition to the reports on the information with respect to portfolio management functions from Redwood, on a regular basis it receives and reviews information from the Trusts Chief Compliance Officer (CCO) regarding Redwoods compliance policies and procedures established pursuant to Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act, including evaluations of the regulatory compliance systems of Redwood and any disciplinary history. The Board also considered Redwoods policies and procedures relating to business continuity and cybersecurity, including the Trust CCOs review and evaluation of these policies and procedures, and that the CCO found them to be satisfactory. The Board also considered the operation of Redwoods compliance program and any compliance matters over the past year, as well as a report by an independent third-party compliance consultant. The Board took into account representations and commitments previously made by Redwood and actions taken or to be taken by Redwood, including, without limitation, certain changes and enhancements to Redwoods compliance program.
The Board also considered the significant risks assumed by Redwood in connection with the services provided to the Redwood Funds, including entrepreneurial risk and ongoing risks including investment, operational, enterprise, litigation, regulatory, and compliance risks with respect to the Redwood Funds.
In considering the nature, extent, and quality of the services provided by Redwood, the Board took into account its knowledge, acquired through discussions and reports during the preceding year and in past years, of Redwoods management and the quality of the performance of Redwoods duties.
After discussion and taking into account the report and evaluation provided by the Trusts CCO, the Board concluded that Redwood had sufficient personnel, resources, investment methodologies and written compliance policies and procedures to perform its duties under the Advisory Agreements with respect to each of the Redwood Funds.
Performance. In considering each Redwood Funds performance, the Board noted that it reviews at its regularly scheduled quarterly meetings information about each Redwood Funds performance results. Among other data, the Board considered each Redwood Funds performance for the one-year, three-year, five-year, as applicable, and since inception periods ended September 30, 2024, as compared to a benchmark index and against the median performance of its Peer Group and Morningstar category. The Board noted that while it found the data provided by the independent third-party generally useful, it recognized the datas limitations, including in particular that the data may vary depending on the end date selected and that the results of the performance comparisons may vary depending on the funds in the Peer Group.
With respect to the Redwood Managed Volatility Fund (for this paragraph only, the Fund), the Board considered, among other performance data, that the Fund had outperformed the benchmark index for the one-year period and that its performance was equal to the median of its Peer Group for the one-year period. The Board also
44
Redwood Funds |
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued) |
April 30, 2025 |
considered that the Fund had underperformed the median of its Morningstar category for the one-year period and underperformed the median of its Peer Group and Morningstar category and the benchmark index for the three-year, five-year, and since inception periods. The Board also considered the Funds risk-adjusted returns. The Board took into account Redwoods discussion of the factors that contributed to the Funds relative performance, including differences in the Funds strategy from that of the funds in the Peer Group, as well as plans to address the Funds underperformance.
With respect to the Redwood Systematic Macro Trend (SMarT) Fund (for this paragraph only, the Fund), the Board considered, among other performance data, that the Fund had outperformed the median of its Peer Group and Morningstar category and the benchmark index for the three-year, five-year and since inception periods and outperformed the median of its Peer Group and then benchmark index for the one-year period. The Board also considered that the Fund had underperformed the median of its Morningstar Category for the one-year period.
With respect to the Redwood AlphaFactor Tactical International Fund (for this paragraph only, the Fund), the Board considered, among other performance data, that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index for the one-year period and outperformed the median of its Peer Group for the three-year and five-year periods. The Board also considered that the Fund had underperformed the median of its Peer Group for the one-year and since inception periods, underperformed the median of its Morningstar category for the one-year, three-year, five-year and since inception periods, and underperformed the benchmark index for the three-year, five-year and since inception periods. The Board also noted the Funds risk-adjusted returns.
With respect to the Redwood Managed Municipal Income Fund (for this paragraph only, the Fund), the Board considered, among other performance data, that the Fund had outperformed the benchmark index for the one-year period and underperformed the benchmark index for the three-year, five-year and since inception periods. The Board also considered that the Fund underperformed the median of its Peer Group and Morningstar category for the one-year and since inception periods and underperformed the median of its Peer Group and Morningstar category. The Board took into account actions taken by Redwood to address the Funds performance and also noted that the Fund was being managed in accordance with its investment objective and strategies.
The Board also considered Redwoods discussion of each Redwood Funds performance, including the factors that contributed to any underperformance, as well as the quarterly written reports containing Redwoods performance commentary. The Board noted each Funds risk adjusted returns and how each Fund was managed, including whether each Fund was managed according to an index or actively managed by Redwood and the factors contributing to any difference in performance with any other funds managed by Redwood with a similar strategy. The Board also noted that Redwood was actively monitoring the performance of each Redwood Fund and considered more recent performance information provided at this Meeting. The Board concluded that the overall performance of each of the Redwood Funds was satisfactory or, in the case of underperformance, was being appropriately monitored and/or addressed.
Fees and Expenses. As to the costs of the services provided by Redwood, among other expense data, the Board considered a comparison prepared by Broadridge of each Redwood Funds contractual advisory fee and operating expenses compared to such Redwood Funds Peer Group and Morningstar category. The Board noted that while it found the data provided by the independent third-party generally useful it recognized the datas limitations, including in particular that the funds in the Peer Group had a wide range of asset levels and varying expense record dates.
With respect to the Redwood Managed Volatility Fund, the Board noted, among other data, that the Funds advisory fee was equal to the median of its Peer Group and higher than the median of its Morningstar category but was not the highest among the funds in its Morningstar category. The Board also noted the total net expenses were above the median of both its Peer Group and its Morningstar category but were not the highest among the funds in
45
Redwood Funds |
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued) |
April 30, 2025 |
its Peer Group or Morningstar category. The Board also considered Redwoods commentary with respect to differences in the Funds strategy from that of the other funds in the Peer Group.
With respect to the Redwood Systematic Macro Trend (SMarT) Fund, the Board noted, among other data, that the Funds advisory fee was equal to the median of its Peer Group and higher than the median of its Morningstar category but was not the highest among the funds in its Morningstar category. The Board further noted that the net total expenses were below the median of its Peer Group and equal to the median of its Morningstar category. The Board also considered Redwoods commentary with respect to differences in the Funds strategy from that of other funds in its Peer Group.
With respect to the Redwood AlphaFactor Tactical International Fund, the Board noted, among other data, that the Funds advisory fee and net total expenses were above the median of its Peer Group and its Morningstar category, but were not the highest among the funds in its Peer Group. The Board considered Redwoods commentary that it believes there are no truly analogous registered fund competitors to the Fund.
With respect to the Redwood Managed Municipal Income Fund, the Board noted, among other data, that the Funds advisory fee and total net expenses were above the median of its Peer Group and its Morningstar category but were not the highest among the funds in its Peer Group or Morningstar category. The Board also considered Redwoods commentary with respect to how the Fund differed from other funds in the Peer Group.
The Board took into account Redwoods discussion of the Redwood Funds expenses. The Board considered that Redwood had agreed to reimburse expenses to limit net annual operating expenses (exclusive of (i) any front-end or contingent deferred loads; (ii) brokerage fees and commissions; (iii) acquired fund fees and expenses; (iv) borrowing costs (such as interest and dividend expense on securities sold short); (v) taxes; and (vi) extraordinary expenses, such as litigation expenses) to 1.92% and 1.67% for Class N and Class I shares, respectively, of the Redwood Managed Volatility Fund; 1.25%, and 1.00% for Class N and Class I shares, respectively, of the Redwood Managed Municipal Income Fund; 1.45%, and 1.20% for Class N and Class I shares, respectively, of the Redwood AlphaFactor Tactical International Fund; and 1.55%, and 1.30% for Class N and Class I shares, respectively, of the Redwood Systematic Macro Trend (SMarT) Fund.
The Board also noted the proposed reorganization plans with respect to the Redwood Funds and any potential impact on the operating expenses of the Redwood Funds.
In considering the level of the advisory fee paid with respect to each of the Redwood Funds, the Board took into account the cost of other accounts managed by Redwood that used a similar strategy, if any, noting that any variance in the advisory fees was attributable to the differences in the management of these other funds versus the private accounts. The Board also noted the Advisers discussion of investments in underlying funds and Redwoods representation that the nature and level of services provided to each Fund are not duplicative of the advisory services provided to the underlying funds in which the Funds may invest and that the Adviser voluntarily waives and/or reimburses each Funds management fee with respect to the amount of its net assets invested in an underlying affiliated fund.
Based on the factors above, the Board concluded that the advisory fee for each of the Redwood Funds was not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board considered Redwoods profitability and whether these profits were reasonable in light of the services provided to each of the Redwood Funds. The Board reviewed a profitability analysis prepared by Redwood based on each Redwood Funds asset levels and considered the total profits of Redwood from its relationship with each of the Redwood Funds on a Fund-by-Fund basis and for such Redwood Funds and other funds advised by Redwood in the aggregate. The Board also considered with respect to the Redwood Funds that Redwood had agreed to reimburse expenses to limit net annual operating expenses. The Board concluded that Redwoods
46
Redwood Funds |
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued) |
April 30, 2025 |
profitability from its relationship with each of the Redwood Funds, if any, after taking into account a reasonable allocation of costs, was not excessive.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether Redwood would realize economies of scale with respect to its management of each Redwood Fund as each Redwood Fund grew and whether fee levels reflected these economies. The Board noted that each Redwood Funds current advisory fee does not include breakpoints and took into account Redwoods discussion of the Funds fee structures, including the current size of the Funds as well as the level of expenses incurred with respect to each Fund. The Board considered the profitability analysis provided by the Adviser and noted that while expenses of managing each Redwood Fund as a percentage of assets under management were expected to decrease as each Redwood Funds assets continued to grow, at current asset levels, economies of scale have not yet been reached. The Board noted that it would revisit whether economies of scale exist in the future once the respective Redwood Fund had achieved sufficient scale.
Other Benefits. The Board also considered the character and amount of other direct and incidental benefits to be received by Redwood from its relationship with the Redwood Funds. The Board considered that Redwood uses certain Redwood Funds as components of model portfolios it builds for its clients and that, subject to the 1940 Act and the Trusts compliance policies and procedures, the Redwood Funds may invest in an affiliated fund managed by the Adviser. The Board considered that Redwood has represented to the Board that it did not believe it receives any direct, indirect or ancillary material fall-out benefits from its relationship with the Funds. The Board concluded that any such benefits are reasonable.
Conclusion. The Board, having requested and received such information from Redwood as it believed reasonably necessary to evaluate the terms of the Advisory Agreements with respect to the Redwood Funds, and having been advised by independent counsel that the Board had appropriately considered and weighed all relevant factors, including reliance on the representations and commitments made by Redwood at the Meeting, determined that approval of the Advisory Agreement with respect to each of the Redwood Funds for an additional one-year term was in the best interests of each Redwood Fund and its shareholders.
In considering the renewal of each Advisory Agreement with respect to each of the Redwood Funds, the Board considered a variety of factors, including those discussed above, and also considered other factors (including conditions and trends prevailing generally in the economy, the securities markets, and the industry). The Board did not identify any one factor as determinative, and each Independent Trustee may have weighed each factor differently. The Boards conclusions may be based in part on its consideration of the advisory arrangements in prior years and on the Boards ongoing regular review of each Redwood Funds performance and operations throughout the year.
